Method and system for measuring carbon dioxide reduction
First Claim
1. A method for managing energy data, comprising:
- measuring an amount of power produced or consumed by an energy transformation device;
measuring an amount of carbon dioxide emitted, converted or sequestered by the energy transformation device;
creating a dataset of the power produced or consumed and the amount of carbon dioxide emitted, converted or sequestered; and
transmitting the dataset and characteristic data to a central energy data management system.

Abstract
A system and method is provided for managing energy data. The system includes a energy transformation device, a central energy data management system and a database containing carbon dioxide credit information. Managing the energy data includes measuring an amount of power produced or consumed by an energy transformation device, measuring an amount of carbon dioxide emitted, converted or sequestered by the energy transformation device, creating a dataset of the power produced or consumed and the amount of carbon dioxide emitted or sequestered, and transmitting the dataset and characteristic data to a central energy data management system. The method also includes, receiving energy measurements and characteristic data from an energy transformation device, obtaining carbon dioxide credit information and comparing the received energy measurements and the characteristic data with the received carbon dioxide credit information to obtain a carbon dioxide credit for the energy transformation device.
